Yep. It's the Millau bridge. It's an interesting experience: driving across it, you look down into the valley and think "wow! that's high"; go to the north observation point, which is high up, and look down at the bridge and think "that's impressive"; go to the south observation point (where the pictures were taken) and look up at it, and you think "OMFG! Did I really just drive across that?! Aaaargh!", and promise yourself never to get more than six inches of the ground again.
